Château Pontet Canet Pauillac 2005

The 2005 vintage will be remembered above all for the great drought. During the vines’ growth cycle total rainfall was barely over half of what we usually get! What’s more, this lack of rain came after a number of already dry years. Spring was not excessively hot until mid-May. Because ... more

Château Lafite Rothschild Pauillac 1990
